Tactical Drills at Milanello Training Ground
This afternoon, Rossoneri coach Massimiliano Allegri held tactical drills at the Milanello training center in preparation for the upcoming Serie A clash against Torino, set for Monday evening at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. This match is historically significant for the Milan side, which has struggled in recent years against the granata. Over the last twelve years, Milan has recorded only one victory against Torino, a resounding 7-0 that occurred the year before their title triumph in 2022.
Goalscoring Issues in Midfield
Allegri has recently highlighted a crucial issue, pointing out a problem that seems to be overlooked: the lack of goals not only from attackers but also from midfielders. In recent matches, Milan has relied on Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic, who have combined for a total of 10 goals, five each. However, as the coach states, the team needs more goals from the midfielders. Currently, Rabiot and Yashari have yet to score, while Loftus-Cheek, Fofana, Modric, and Ricci have managed only one goal apiece. These figures are certainly insufficient for a club of Milan’s stature.
Pulisic as an Offensive Joker
A key player impacting the Rossoneri’s offensive line is undeniably Christian Pulisic. His influence on Milan’s results is evident: whenever he is on the field, the team’s attacking threat increases significantly. His return is eagerly anticipated ahead of the Torino match. Allegri views him as a crucial asset that can link the attack with midfield, thus enhancing scoring opportunities.
Insights on Maignan and Bartesaghi
Marco Nosotti, a journalist from Sky, has recently commented on Maignan, emphasizing how the goalkeeper is regaining his best form. Ongoing training and a strong relationship with trainer Claudio Filippi are helping him become a leader on the pitch. There’s also optimism for Bartesaghi, who might find his place at Milan due to his football intelligence and commitment.
With these points, Milan gears up to step on the field for a match that could prove pivotal for their season progression. Fans are already buzzing with anticipation for the 90 minutes in which the Rossoneri will be called to showcase their value.
